Is it true that roles can not be granted to other roles anymore? I am unable to find documentation of this, but was informed that this was taken away in 12c. If this is true, will you please post the document?

You need to ask whoever told you that to prove it.

A simple counter example shows you can still do this in 19.3:

create role r1;
create role r2;

grant create session to r1;
grant r1 to r2;
grant r2 to u identified by u;

conn u/u

select * from dual;
